If you wanted to have a thought-provoking, mature conversation about mental health and community, where would you go? Twitter? Probably not. A local support group? That might be a better bet. Or how about a glitter ball-bedecked retro-style roller skating disco in Tottenham, north London? Not the most obvious choice, but it is where MR PORTER finds nine enthusiastic young men and women sitting round a table on a Wednesday lunchtime, discussing said topics with intelligence and humour. The club is usually shut at this time (Monday nights, we hear, is where it’s at), but it has opened so we can shoot this lively bunch of skaters doing their thing while trying out a selection of T-shirts exclusively designed for our HIM charity. Sales will be used to support men’s mental health.

We talk to nine skaters from the London scene about the rewards and challenges they face and their hopes for the future
